Brads79Ranger Posted July 17, 2008 Report Posted July 17, 2008 Im new to the Banshee's and the bike Im buying was wrecked and the hole front end totaled. Alot of the places I look I see the new yfz450 parts shown with the Banshee. Im gonna try to put this back together as cheep as possible with ebaying most of the parts. What will work with what? Thanks for the help. Quote
xXBlessedWithDeathXx Posted July 17, 2008 Report Posted July 17, 2008 The 450 front end will fit on a banshee but you need to trim some off the lower arms and make spacers for the opposite side. the shocks need to be ground up a bit on the lower part of the shock to fit. them mods are easy but i`m not sure where to get the spacers. it you have or have access to a lathe with some commonsense its a easy job. What parts do you need? Quote
Brads79Ranger Posted July 17, 2008 Author Report Posted July 17, 2008 Ha, easy to say what I don't need. All four A-arms, tie rods, both shocks, all ball joints and tie rod ends. I have not torn it apart yet so maybe more to follow. Im buying it from a cousin and he dropped the right front off the road into a culvert pipe at 65mph. Oh I also need a rear axle. Quote
xXBlessedWithDeathXx Posted July 17, 2008 Report Posted July 17, 2008 well. if you want i`ll look to see what i can find. i`m sure i can get most of it. Quote
Brads79Ranger Posted July 18, 2008 Author Report Posted July 18, 2008 (edited) Im not 100% yet but it looks good. Im gonna strip it to the frame and messure it up but by eye it looks good. Edited July 18, 2008 by Brads79Ranger Quote
Brads79Ranger Posted July 18, 2008 Author Report Posted July 18, 2008 Also what exactly do you have to trim on the A-arms Quote
Brads79Ranger Posted July 20, 2008 Author Report Posted July 20, 2008 Ok, I was just given a set of a arms off a 2004 YFZ 450. Who has done this to there Banshee and what did you do. If you have pics it would help. Thanks I can also get the stock axle out of the 450 will it fit mine, Im almost positive I have a 98. Quote
